3d Hardware

For every one who posted in my last thread I figured out how to reformat my pc.

But now I can't play any of my computer games. I installed all the old drivers I thought, but I always get this.



I was always able to play games before I formated it. It is not connected to the internet either.

The first person who figures out the problem gets a reward. I also have to be able to understand it.

thanks

 

try installing the latest drivers, if those don't work check for a diferent set, it seems like a drivers issue...

 

Where do I get the drivers?

 

http://google.com/

insert tha name of your card followed by the word drivers...

works 99% of the time

 

where do i find the name of my card?

 

umm how do you not know the name of your card?


try everest home edition or something like that, I'm not really all too sure....


or it might even be in dxdiag(not sure I don't think it's listed if drivers aren't installed)

 

press start, run, type in dxdiag. then when its done go to display and it should say there

 

Ok, when I do the run I get that. But where it says Directx fetures, I see it say not available.

And It doesent say the chip name, it says N/A... It worked perfectly before I formated it.

 

Problem with your card then?

 

ok, thats weird, when you run the dx diag, press save all info, and paste it here

 

Ok here is the Info.

thats not all of it, I stopped at the end of the display part.

 

correct me if im wrong but doesnt the Dimension 4600i have a onboard video?

 

all it said is that it's using the generic VESA driver and that you don't have video acceleration...

I honestly don't know


try CPUz.
